-replace operator
This is probably a regex question as opposed to powershell but I am confused
by an example of the -replace operator on page 89 in the user guide:
> "abc" -replace "\w*", "new"
newnew
Why does this match twice? It seems to me that if \w* is greedy, it should
take them all. If it is not, it should grab "", "a", "ab", "abc".
The
> "abc" -replace "\w?", "new"
example is similar.
